This is cursed

At least they didn’t forget New Zealand this time

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They did drop the UK though, not that anyone would miss us.. 😂

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What do you mean? The UK is right there, land bridge to France and everything.

I knew a pedant would get me lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It looks like Cornwall made the cut.

Ah yes, Paris, my favorite Finnish city. Very easy to get to since we drained the English Channel.

It always did have gorgeous views of the Baltic lake

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, the famous Baltic Lake

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At least it didn't forget New Zealand

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Is there a maps without New Zealand community yet?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

I just can't get enough of that Mediterranean lentil dahl.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes... India.

The island country next to Africa.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where did you think it was? On it's own subcontinent attached to the south of Asia, where the landmass of Mediterranean is?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Pfft... that's just ridiculous.

Next you'll be telling me the Himalayas are actually a result of said subcontinent crashing into the main Asian continent.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes, New York south of Texas

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

India, the island off Africa

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Say what you will about the map, at least there's no England.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

A small price to pay

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Or no canal between UK and EU?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Cursed Canadian Greenland

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't be so hard on them, Australia is spot on.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's also a New Zeland, so that's nice

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They even remembered Tasmania.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

So.... Aussie geography then?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I'm going to wager that decal was designed and manufactured in a non-English speaking country. Everyone knows where Texas and Canada are

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Nah I don't think the language/location gap can explain this ignorance. You can onlt find this in a Graphic Designer.

[–] lambda 8 points 1 year ago

My thoughts too. An American would probably mess up the rest of the world, but would nail canada, America, and south America lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's not just about the labels, the landmasses themselves are cursed

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Wait... it's not a Photoshop?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Artic Ocean

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

and I'm guessing "Anardica" is hidden behind those condiments

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Since when was Canada a land mass island?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wouldn't it be Iceland? Or is that for the ice part of that region? Or is it the other way round.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Other way around, iceland is the small island next to it, and Greenland is the big frozen mass labelled canada here.

here have a picture

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok who is responsible for naming this? I need to know

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

National Geographic did an article on that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've always remembered it like this:

Greenland is icy, Iceland is green.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn.. what happened to India ಥ_ಥ it shrunk in the wash

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Like a frightened turtle!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@Zerush
They know where Africa is! Surprised!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Although with a very wrong size, same with South America.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The blue Europe over Africa is very wrong indeed

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This is beautiful.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Poor Hokkaido lost a lot of weight, apparently. A little matchstick Hokkaido + Kurils + Sakhalin

According to this map, you mean Korea.
